> You fail to understand how software development and maintenance works.

Someone complains about bad food at restaurant. Defender responds "you fail to understand how cooking works".




An analogy is not a valid argument. Analogies are useful for illustrating a concept, but a waste of time when trying to support a claim. Also, your analogy does not seem analogous to me.


Analogy isn't any kind of argument. It is an aid to understanding.


I agree. We're talking about phones, not a restaurant.


Sir this is a Wendy's. We actually can not serve you lobster. Our kitchen doesn't support cooking lobster so sorry you will have to go find somewhere else.


Sir, you cannot order the Wendy's Baconator burger on account of it being the second Tuesday of the month, please try something else.


Even food goes bad after a while :)


It isn't the food.

3rd-party food developers insist I'm running the absolute latest gut microbiome ;)
